 Was that the Piggly Wiggly grocery store??

Yep....

Their not around anymore are they???

Yes, they are in certain places...there's one here (Denton). They were bought out by Shop Rite Foods in the 60's then sold individually. The remaining stores are all home-owned and operated now and still carry the famous name.

 Memphis had the first Piggly Wiggly store were you used a key to have the grocery products dispensed to you. The machines were feed from the floor above. I have only thought that if you could design a grocery store like that were a full time stocking clerks would replenish the store from below or above would be a big hit and the sleeves would always be full.

I never saw one of those....interesting idea.
